"Anecdotes of the Liberation of Tian'e County: Guerrilla Forces of three counties joining forces to capture Tian'e County" by Li Ning

Author Hechi City Li Ning

Early morning of January 4, 1950.

The bitter cold wind blew the trees on both sides of the Bulyu River to a screeching sound, and silver-gray clouds rolled disorderly in the sky, as if brewing a bigger storm.

In the cold wind, a small canopy boat quietly docked on the shore under the Bridge of the Immortals of the Blyu River. This is the junction of Baise Leye County and Tian'e County.

This Immortal Bridge is a natural stone arch bridge formed naturally by the collapse of three large mountains. The Xian ren bridge falls on the Buliu River, the bridge span is more than 170 meters, like a flying dragon across the two banks of the river, the scenery is perfect, majestic, is a rare natural stone arch bridge.

"Cuckoo-goo--"A low dove cry came from the bushes under the Bridge of the Immortals. After a while, there were three long and two short applause from the small canopy boat, and then someone stretched out a pedal from the small canopy boat and put it on the shore, and the boat shook a few times, and out came a middle-aged man, only to see him dressed in an old blue indigo coarse cloth coat, wearing a bamboo leaf hat, calmly standing on the pedal board and observing the surroundings vigilantly. After a moment, he took off his bamboo leaf hat and waved in the direction of the bush where the dove's cry had just been heard.

A man walking out of the bushes quickly stepped up to meet him, and whispered to the secret code: "Boatman, are there more than ten pounds of sesame swords for sale?" ”

"On a cold day, there is nothing to sell sesame swords." I have a catfish of three pounds and six pounds here. ”

"Secretary Huang Jingqi has worked hard!" After the person who came to the code, he seemed very excited, tightly held Huang Jingqi's hand, and introduced himself, "I am Huang Guangting, chief of staff of the Tian'e County Independent Brigade, and Tan Anfeng, the governor of Tian'e County, sent me to meet you." ”

"Okay, let's go." Huang Jingqi patted Huang Guangting's shoulder. In a short while, the figures of the two people mysteriously disappeared into the jungle.

Huang Jingqi is a member of the Central County Committee of Wangang County and the acting secretary of the Fengshan County Working Committee. He went to Tian'e County this time under the secret assignment of the newly established Baise Prefectural Committee of the CPC, and when he went to the renewal and convening of the leaders of the CPC Tian'e County Working Committee and the backbone of the Tian'e County Independent Brigade, he held a military meeting to make arrangements to cooperate with the national liberation war and organize military forces to liberate Tian'e County.

On November 20, 1949, the 151st Division of the 38th Army of the People's Liberation Army captured Yibei, on the 23rd, the 116th Division of the 39th Army of the People's Liberation Army liberated Luocheng, and then on the 24th, the 452nd Regiment of the 151st Division of the 38th Army of the Fourth Field Army of the People's Liberation Army captured Si'en. Subsequently, the 451st and 452nd Regiments of the 151st Division of the 38th Army liberated Hechi, Donglan, Fengshan, and Wangang (present-day Bama County) on the 26th, 29th, 30th, and 1st December respectively, at this time, in the area controlled by the Kuomintang Northwest Guizhou Military and Political District, only Nandan, Tian'e, and Tianhe Counties were not liberated.

On the evening of December 3, the atmosphere in the Tian'e County Government Conference Room, located on the south side of Xiangyang Street, was tense, and the "Special Emergency Work Meeting" that began at 4 p.m. continued.

At 3 p.m. on this day, Zhang Jinxian, the county magistrate of Tian'e County, received a telegram from nandan from the Northwest Gui Military and Political District Headquarters, in which the Northwest Gui Military and Political District Headquarters reported the situation of Yishan County being captured by the People's Liberation Army on December 2, and asked Tian'e County to immediately make emergency preparations.

After receiving the telegram from the Headquarters of the Northwest Guizhou Military and Political District, Zhang Jinxian, the county magistrate of Tian'e County, felt that the situation was grim, and he immediately summoned the section chiefs of the Tian'e County Government, the personnel at and above the level of the militia regiment company commander, and the township chiefs to hold a "special meeting on emergency work." Zhang Jinxian also invited the company commanders of the two security companies of the provincial security regiment stationed in Tian'e to attend the meeting.

The "special meeting on emergency work" mainly reported on the current situation and the situation in Hechi, Donglan, Fengshan, Wangang, and other counties being occupied by the PLA, and studied the measures taken by Tian'e County to deal with the current situation.

The reason why the meeting was held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. was mainly because the participants debated whether the county government insisted on tian'e. On this issue, there are mainly two factions: One faction, represented by Yang Rongsheng, the township chief of Laopeng Township, advocates evacuating Tian'e and going to Banren, Dataing Township, or Xinhua Township in Luodian, Guizhou, to fight guerrillas. Their reasons were: Banren, Dataing Township, or Xinhua Township in Luodian, Guizhou, or Xinhua Township in Leye County were highly forested, with complex terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack; the other faction, represented by Huang Jingfen, deputy commander of the county militia regiment and director of the Tian'e Joint Defense District, and Tian Liankuan, commander of the militia regiment, advocated sticking to Tian'e, never retreating, and fighting the Communists to the end.

Huang Jingfen was born in 1915 to a wealthy family in Deck Township. He was small in stature and had a scar on his face, known as the "Yellow Scar". In 1934, he went to Yishan to train in the local special formation for one year, and then returned to his hometown to serve as the deputy township chief of Deck Township and the coach of the Self-Defense Force. In 1937, he became the township chief of Deck Township, and then for three consecutive years he was appointed deputy chairman of the Provisional Senate of Tian'e County. In December 1946, he was elected as a member of the Executive Committee of the Kuomintang County Party Department and served as the deputy commander of the Tian'e County Militia League. Before Mo Shujie accepted the peaceful reorganization, he served as the commander of the newly organized Fifty-fifth Regiment and the director of the Tian'e Joint Defense Zone.

"It's too early to mention the evacuation of Tian'e!" Huang Jingfen stood up from the stool, flashed a fierce look in his eyes, and said in a loud voice, "We now not only have favorable conditions for fighting with the Communist Party, but also the capital to fight with the Communist Party." ”

"Yes, Deputy Commander Huang is right!" Tian Liankuan, the leader of the militia regiment, also stood up and echoed.

Yang Rongsheng, the township chief of Laopeng Township, sat there motionless, just glanced at Huang Jingfen and Tian Liankuan with his eyes, and there was a faint contempt on his face, but he pretended to be a compliment and said: "Deputy Commander Huang's courage is commendable, and he can be called the 'courageous soul' of our Tian'e." admire! ”

"It's over. I am more courageous than someone else! Huang Jingfen knew that Yang Rongsheng was praising and demeaning himself when he said this, and while casting a contemptuous glance at Yang Rongsheng, he unceremoniously said.

"Did Deputy Commander Huang just say, 'We now have not only favorable conditions for fighting with the Communist Party, but also the capital to fight with the Communist Party'? Can Deputy Commander Huang give us specifically what conditions and capital we have for fighting with the Communist Party? Yang Rongsheng wanted to embarrass Huang Jingfen.

"All right. Please listen well to Mayor Yang. Huang Jingfen put on a godfather look.

Immediately after that, Huang Jingfen skimmed over the side of the county magistrate Zhang Jinxian, walked straight to the map hanging across from the conference table, pointed to the "Map of Tian'e County," and said in an extremely arrogant tone: "Gentlemen, although the Communist Party has conquered Hechi, Donglan, Fengshan, Wangang, and other counties, why has it not dared to attack our Tian'e County until now?" It is precisely because we have the following conditions and capital, or strength, that the communist army is prohibitive. Didn't Mayor Yang Rongsheng just now ask me to talk specifically about what conditions and capital we have for fighting with the Communist Party? Now I'll talk about it.

"First, the Headquarters of the Northwest Guizhou Military and Political District under the leadership of General Mo Shujie still controls Nandan County, Tianhe County and the whole territory of our county in the eastern part of Tian'e County, and is an important force for us to resist the communist army and deter the local armed forces of the communist party - this is our spiritual pillar. Second, our military strength in Tian'e County cannot be underestimated – this is our military backbone. The provincial security regiment has a company, about 100 people are stationed in the county seat, the county militia regiment also has more than 300 people, and the garrison of the provincial security regiment and our militia regiment in Tian'e add up to four or five hundred people.

"Third, our troop deployment has formed two defensive lines: more than 100 people of the provincial security company and more than 100 people of the county militia regiment led by me are stationed in Xiangyang Street, the county seat, to maintain the security of the county town; Lu Mengguang, the county magistrate and head of the county military section, led more than 100 militia regiments to garrison Laopeng Township and Zhangjiatuo. In this way, two lines of defense are formed. Coupled with the fact that the thousands of armed forces controlled by the Northwest Gui Military and Political District Headquarters still control the eastern gate of Tian'e County, the safety of Tian'e is guaranteed! ”

Speaking of this, Huang Jingfen paused, glanced at Yang Rongsheng with a proud look, and said: "What we are talking about above is the conditions and capital for our struggle with the Communist Party -- I don't want to dwell on it, for fear that some people with low military quality will not understand." ”

Yang Rongsheng knew that Huang Jingfen's words were directed at him, so he removed the stool and came to the map and retorted: "Unceremoniously, what Deputy Commander Huang said seems to be reasonable, but it is actually the view of the well frog. I cannot agree with this. ”

Yang Rongsheng pulled out the dry cigarette pole around his waist and pointed at the map with it: "If you look at the map, you will know that the current situation is grim." Since late November 1949, Liuzhou and Hechi, Donglan, Fengshan, Wangang and other counties to the east and southeast of Tian'e have been captured by the 13th Corps of the Fourth Field Army of the Communist Army, and Dushan County, Libo County and the northern part of Guizhou North of Tian'e have been occupied by the Second Field Army of the Communist Army. At present, the two field armies of the communist army have hundreds of thousands of troops pointing at the entire northwestern region of Guizhou, and have formed a pincer-shaped pinch attack. Bai Chongxi's 100,000 troops retreated to the Baise area and prepared to withdraw from Baise to Vietnam.

"Just imagine, we have lost the protection of The regular troops of Commander Bai Chongxi, and the contingent of more than 1,000 people in the hands of General Mo Shujie and the local armed forces of 300 or 400 people in this district of Tian'e County are the opponents of hundreds of thousands of regular troops of the communist army? Those who think that a team of more than 1,000 people can withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops really have brain problems, and they are idiots!

"Therefore, we must not be arrogant, we must face the reality, evacuate tian'e county, and preserve the anti-communist forces - to stay in the green mountains without worrying about firewood - this is the attitude of being responsible to the party-state!"

County magistrate Zhang Jinxian saw that the two sides were arguing endlessly, not giving in to each other, each saying that each had its own reason, and he couldn't come up with any ideas, sitting there anxiously scratching his scalp...

At this time, Xianzuo brought a telegram that he had just received and handed it to Huang Jingfen, which was an urgent telegram sent by the Northwest Gui Military and Political District Headquarters in Nandan Luoteng. The telegram was sent to Huang Jingfen, director of the Tian'e Joint Defense District, and the main contents of the telegram were: Huang Jingfen, director of the Tian'e Joint Defense District, was asked to hold the defense zone at all costs, not to evacuate without orders, and to send people to Luo Teng Village the next day to collect weapons and ammunition; to actively supervise the villagers to clear the field in the empty room and carry out guerrilla warfare training; to expand anti-communist propaganda, hold anti-communist meetings, and make a big rebellion and a common momentum.

At this time, Huang Jingfen was very excited and proud, and he raised the telegram over his head, like wielding the sword of ShangFang, and said loudly to the personnel present: "This is an urgent telegram sent to me by the Northwest Guizhou Military and Political District Headquarters from Nandan Luoteng, asking us to hold the defense area at any cost, and we must not evacuate without orders -- I am the director of the Tian'e Joint Defense District appointed by the Northwest Gui Military and Political District Headquarters, and I hope that everyone will listen to me!" ”

In his heart, the county magistrate Zhang Jinxian agreed with Yang Rongsheng's proposal to evacuate the county seat of Tian'e County, but now after seeing the telegram sent to Huang Jingfen by the Northwest Gui Military and Political District Headquarters, he immediately saw the wind and hurriedly said: "Yes, we in Tian'e still have a certain strength to resist the attacks of the local armed forces of the communist army." Let's follow the telegram from the Northwest Guizhou Military and Political District Headquarters. ”

Huang Jingfen looked at Zhang Jinxian and glanced at Yang Rongsheng again, and the corners of his mouth revealed a sneering smile.

On the night of January 4th, Zeting Village, Xinxiang Township- the temporary people's government of Tian'e County and the headquarters of the county brigade, appeared particularly quiet, and the quiet air was quietly mixed with dew, became moist and soft, and then gently fell on the treetops, on the eaves, and paved on the stone path of the mountain village...

At this time, in a mud-tiled room at the west end of Zeting Village, Huang Jingqi, a secret envoy who had been picked up by Huang Guangting at the Xianren Bridge in the morning, was organizing a secret military meeting. The participants at this meeting were mainly the secretaries and members of the Tian'e County Workers' Committee of the CPC and cadres at or above the squadron leader of the Tian'e County Independent Brigade.

Huang Jingqi said to the participants sitting around the fire pit: "Comrades, this time I have been secretly assigned by the newly established Baise Prefectural Committee of the CPC to convene a military meeting with the leaders of the Tian'e County Working Committee and the backbone of the county independent brigade to make arrangements to cooperate with the national liberation war and organize military forces to liberate Tian'e County.

"Since November 20 this year, the 151st Division of the 38th Army of the People's Liberation Army conquered Yibei and opened the prelude to the liberation of northwest Guizhou, the People's Liberation Army has successively liberated sien, Luocheng, Hechi, Donglan, Fengshan, Wangang and other counties. Therefore, the Baise Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to organize military forces to solve the Tian'e problem. ”

"Secretary Huang, quickly convey the specific deployment and specific plan of the superior."

"We're finally waiting for this day!"

……

When the comrades attending the meeting heard that their superiors were going to arrange for an attack on Tian'e County, they were very happy, and they could not contain their excitement and urged one after another.

"Comrades, I understand your feelings. In this way, Comrade Tan Anfeng, secretary of the Tian'e County Working Committee of the CPC and county magistrate of the Tian'e County Provisional People's Government, will first talk about the current distribution of the Kuomintang's armed forces in Tian'e County, and then we will formulate our action plan according to the situation of the enemy's armed forces. Huang Jingqi shifted his gaze to Tan Anfeng.

Tan Anfeng was born in 1924 to a peasant family in Jiangxu Township ,now Part dahua County, Wangang County. In 1943, when he was studying at the Wangang County National Middle School, he participated in the revolutionary activities led by the Wangang Middle School Branch of the Communist Party of China. After graduating in 1945, he taught at the Jiang Wei Central School, during which time he secretly propagated communist political ideas among progressive teachers. In May 1946, Huang Ke, secretary of the Wangang branch of the Communist Party of China, arranged for him to work in the Wangang County Council through the internal line, and later arranged for him to work as a clerk in the Kuomintang Wangang County Party Department, in this capacity to cover up revolutionary activities. He joined the Communist Party of China in July 1947. In 1949, he was appointed political commissar of the Tian'e County Independent Brigade and secretary of the Tian'e County Working Committee of the Communist Party of China. In October 1949, in accordance with the spirit of the Luolou Conference, the Tian'e County Working Committee established the Tian'e County Provisional People's Government in Xinxin Township, and Tan Anfeng served as the county magistrate of the Tian'e County Provisional People's Government.

Tan Anfeng loosened his neckline with his hand and said solemnly: "Comrades, the higher-level party organizations have made up their minds to solve the Tian'e problem, and our Tian'e County Party Committee and the county independent brigade must act immediately -- we have all long been looking forward to the arrival of this day."

As early as the 1920s, wei Guoying of The Twilight, Ya Yongping of Lin You, Huang Wan of Ba Geng, Huang Liu, and so on, under the leadership of Wei Puqun, mobilized the local peasants to rise up for revolution, and then established Communist Party organizations and revolutionary armed forces to wage an indomitable struggle against the Kuomintang reactionaries and landlord bullies. After 20 years, the armed forces of our Communist Party have continued to grow and develop, and at present Chinese people's liberation army has launched an all-out offensive against the Gui regime, the Bai Chongxi clique has completely collapsed, and the Kuomintang regime in Tian'e is also on the verge of collapse. ”

Tan Anfeng paused for a moment and continued with a grim look: "Yes, the people of Tian'e have been looking forward to the arrival of the day when the Kuomintang regime will collapse for a long time. The people of Tian'e have the spirit and tradition of not being afraid of violence and evil. In order to achieve liberation, under the leadership and organization of the Communist Party, they rose up to resist and waged an indomitable struggle against the kuomintang reactionary regime. From 1930 onwards, the Kuomintang reactionaries carried out a brutal and bloody suppression of the Communists and the Tian'e people who rebelled against them, causing deep disasters to the Tian'e people. Even on the eve of the collapse of the Kuomintang regime, they continued to burn and plunder the guerrilla base areas in a frenzied manner, and bloodily suppressed the Communist Party and the tian'e people.

"They washed the Twilight Zone in blood. From October 20 to 24, 1932, the Kuomintang Guangxi Provincial Government and Liao Lei, commander of the Seventh Army, sent Luo Huo, the commander of the regiment, to mobilize more than 5,000 people from the five counties to attack the Red Army and the Peasant Red Guards in the Mizu Su District. After the Kuomintang troops and regimental soldiers entered the Mizu Area, they wantonly burned and plundered. The Red Army lost more than 100 casualties in the attack against the Luohuobu, and the Red Guards were killed 31. Twenty-six houses and 58 private warehouses were burned, hundreds of women were robbed, more than 800 cattle were killed and abducted, and countless other property were looted. When the Red Army withdrew from the Battle of Ganmengling due to the lack of ammunition and food, all the Red Army cadres and their families who could not evacuate the Luo Huobu were killed.

"They also ransacked the renewal guerrilla zone. In mid-February 1949, Yang Litian, commissioner of the 12th Administrative Region of Guangxi (Fengshan), together with He Gang, commander of the third battalion of the Guangxi Security Regiment, took advantage of the guerrillas' battle in Leye County and the emptiness in the rear to gather more than 2,000 people from the militia regiments of 5 counties to loot the updated guerrilla zone in Tian'e. The security regiment plundered and burned houses in the villages of Xinxing, Bama, Shangfu, Sida, Binting and other villages, which were almost burned down by the security regiment. In addition, the security regiment also abducted more than 160 cattle and horses (horses) and a large number of other belongings from the masses. During the renewal period, He Gang was corrupt and perverted the law, and in addition to enjoying the military food and military funds collected by Huang Gaibi, the mayor of the renewal township, he also levied additional money and grain.

"They even 'swept' the camp of the Qianbian column in Yunnan and Guizhou. In November 1949, about 300 people from the 28th Brigade of the Qianbian Column of Yunnan and Guizhou were stationed in the areas of Yanli, Dang'ai, Tuozhai and Tangli in Chengzhi Township. After the Kuomintang Tian'e County Government found out the news, it dispatched the Self-Defense Forces to besiege it. The siege was led by Tian Liankuan, deputy director of the Self-Defense Corps, Huang Cunzhong, instructor, and Xie Huaxin, supervisor. They dispatched more than 230 men, armed with 186 rifles, 6 light aircraft, 6 carbines, 1 submachine gun, and 140 grenades, and set off from Xiangyang at 10 a.m. on November 1, and entered Dang'ai, Jiaowa, and Tosai at dawn the next day. The 28th Brigade of the Qianbian Column of Yunnan Guizhou exchanged fire with the invading enemy at 5:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Huang Wenbin, a militiaman in Yanli, was killed by the Self-Defense Forces and hung up on Xiangyang Street to show the public, and the militiaman Meng Rihui was shot on the spot. Dang'ai, Nashan, Dangfang, Tuozhai, and other tuns were wantonly looted by Tian Liankuan's self-defense forces, burning more than 70 houses and snatching away more than 40 cattle and horses and a large number of other property. ”

When Tan Anfeng said this, he stopped talking, and his mood was very sad.

At this time, Huang Jiezhang, instructor of the Tian'e County Independent Brigade, continued: "However, in the face of the enemy's bloody suppression, the CPC Tian'e Party organization and guerrillas carried out heroic and tenacious resistance against the enemy and carried out a series of armed counterattacks. I am still quite impressed by the following struggles against the enemy --

In October 1947, Huang Pingxiong and Mo Bijian led more than 50 guerrillas to attack the Kuomintang Renewal Township Office. Huang Gaibi, the leader of the militia brigade, was wounded, 4 township policemen were captured alive, 4 rifles and one horse were captured, forcing Huang Gaibi to move the township office from the street to Balingtun in Binting Village. In November of the same year, Huang Pingxiong and Huang Jingqi led the renewal guerrilla group of 40 people, where the village Jia Lin Tun Houshan ambushed Cen Jiangao, the deputy township chief of the renewal, killed 2 township policemen, captured 2 rifles, and more than 100 bullets.

"There are also guerrilla updates against 'encirclement and suppression.'" On January 10, 1949, Kwong Shifang, the county magistrate of Tian'e County and commander of the militia regiment, led 26 people, 19 long and short guns, set up a command post in Laopeng, and remotely controlled the "encirclement and suppression" guerrillas in the updated militia. Huang Jingfen, deputy commander of the militia regiment, led more than 260 people from the militia regiment to enter the renewal from there village, and gathered 45 guns of the new joint defense office to cooperate with Kwong Shifang in attacking the renewal guerrillas. On January 14, Huang Pingxiong and Huang Fulin commanded more than 300 gunmen from Xishan and Xima guerrillas to launch a counterattack, and after one day and one night of fighting, Huang Baoshan, Zhao Shitong, and Huang Jingqi led their troops to assist in the battle and surrounded Huang Jingfen. Huang Jingfen took advantage of the night cover to break through the siege the next night and fled back to Xiangyang. In this battle, the guerrillas killed 1 special agent and 3 regimental soldiers, wounded more than 10 people, and captured 3 79 rifles, 1 pistol, 2 grenadiers and 2 horses. In early February, the three battalions of the Second Security Regiment of Guangxi Province gathered more than 1,000 guns from the five counties of Fengshan, Donglan, Wangang, Lingyun, and Leye to attack the renewal guerrillas again. Huang Pingxiong urgently informed the LeYe West Malaysia guerrillas to return to help, and Huang Mingguang also led the team to support. After a stubborn counterattack by the guerrillas, the regimental police retreated to the village there. There, the village was attacked by guerrillas, and more than 10 regimental police officers were killed or wounded. In mid-February, Yang Litian, commissioner of the 12th District of Guangxi, commanded the regimental police of Donglan, Fengshan, Lingyun, Leye, and Tian'e counties, as well as more than 2,000 people from the three battalions of the 2nd Provincial Security Regiment to carry out a third attack on the renewal guerrilla zone. In order to resist the enemy, the guerrillas adopted the strategy and tactics of 'the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed in us disturbing us, and the enemy retreating and chasing after us', and ambushed the regimental police in two ways at The Buliu River and Yunpanshan, killing a total of 5 regimental policemen and wounding 15 regimental policemen.

"We also struck huang Jingfen, deputy commander of the Tian'e County militia regiment. In September 1949, Huang Jingfen, deputy commander of the Tian'e County Militia Regiment, and Sada Liankuan, led the militia regiment into Nandai, and Huang Mingguang, the leader of the 28th Brigade of the Guixi People's Liberation Army, led his troops to fight with Huang Jingfen for 1 day, and then the deputy commander of the brigade, Huang Jiaohong, 30 people shot to help, killing 2 regimental police officers and wounding several people. Huang Jingfen and Tian Liankuan fled to Lao Peng Township in defeat. ”

Speaking of this, Tan Anfeng took out the notebook with the cover worn out from his satchel, opened it, and then put it on his lap, and said quietly: "Comrades, what I have just said is mainly to show that our guerrillas have a tenacious fighting spirit to fight the enemy, and we are capable of defeating the enemy."

"Well, let me first conduct a comparative analysis of the enemy and our forces to determine our plan of action for capturing Tian'e County." First of all, let's talk about our current strength: Our Tian'e County Independent Brigade was established in September 1949 when the Guixi District Headquarters of the Qianbian Column of Yunnan Guizhou was reorganized in Luolou Township, Lingyun County, in line with the principle of establishing a system based on the county as a unit, and the Tian'e County Independent Brigade was separated from the 28th Brigade. The Independent Brigade has 4 squadrons with a total of more than 500 guns. The team's cadres are: Ya Meijin, the leader of the first squadron; Wei Mingying, the leader of the second squadron; Mo Jiasheng, the captain of the third squadron; Huang Guangting(concurrently), the leader of the fourth squadron; and Huang Jinghua, the deputy squadron leader.

"Secondly, let me talk about the current armed forces of the Tian'e authorities and their distribution: According to the information we have investigated and inquired into from the inside, after my comprehensive analysis, A statistical arrangement has been made of the existing forces of the enemy: First, the county police brigade, established in 1935 in the Republic of China, is managed by the county police auxiliary office, and the police officer concurrently serves as the chief of the police brigade. In the early days of the brigade, the team had 15 non-commissioned officers, except for police officers, who were non-professional soldiers and were ready to draw additional posts from farmers. At present, the Tian'e County Police Brigade has 6 police officers, 33 non-commissioned officers, 16 rifles, 5 pistols, and 700 rounds of ammunition; second, the Tian'e County Militia Regiment. It was commanded by the county magistrate Zhang Jinxian, and the current director of the Tian'e Joint Defense District was Huang Jingfen as the full-time deputy commander. The county militia regiment has 8 township brigades and 24 squadrons, 142 officers, 5883 sergeants, 669 rifles, 124 pistols, 11 light aircraft, 25380 infantry bullets, 1100 light machine gun bullets, and 3880 pistol bullets. The vast majority of the guns held by the vigilante groups were purchased by the people themselves. In addition, the militia headquarters set up another special squadron, which was dedicated to prevent attacks by guerrillas in Xinxin, Beimu and other places. The squadron consisted of 8 squads, 12 officers, 158 sergeants, 148 rifles, 2 light aircraft and 8 pistols.

"Third, more Peng Joint Defense Office detachment. The detachment was established in August 1948, with Wu Jingcong as the director of the office and Zhao Fajian as the leader of the detachment, with 45 guns. In December 1949, after Wu Jingcong was killed by the headquarters of the commander of the Guixi Military And Political District, the team was disbanded. Fourth, in October 1949, in order to supervise and assist the Kuomintang Tian'e County Government in eliminating the Tian'e County guerrillas, the Northwest Gui Military and Political District Headquarters dispatched two security companies with more than 200 people to garrison Liupai, Laopeng and other places. ”

Tan Anfeng explained: "The county militia regiment has 8 township brigades and 24 squadrons and 5883 members, which are all the inflated figures reported by the Tian'e County authorities, in fact, the county militia regiment only has more than 300 guns in the standing team.

At present, the actual strength of the Kuomintang Tian'e authorities is divided into two parts - one part is the strength of the county militia regiment, more than 300 people, and the other part is 2 security companies sent by Mo Shujie, commander of the Kuomintang Guixi Military and Political District, with more than 200 people. Combined, the strength of these two parts is about four or five hundred troops actually controlled by the Tian'e authorities.

"According to intelligence reports and our investigation and verification, the tian'e authorities' troop deployment is as follows: Huang Jingfen, deputy commander of the Kuomintang Guixi Military and Political District Security Company and deputy commander of the county militia regiment, led more than 100 regiments to guard the county town; Zhang Jinxian, county magistrate, and Lü Mengguang, chief of the military section, led more than 100 regiments to guard Laopeng Township and Zhangjiatuo, forming two lines of defense inside and outside to guard Tian'e County."

Tan Anfeng was well aware of the enemy's strength and deployment, mainly due to the fact that the CPC Tian'e County Party organization attached great importance to carrying out united front and plotting counter-insurgency work. The CPC Tian'e County party organization has relatively mature experience in carrying out the united front and plotting against the enemy, and this is also the strength of the CPC Tian'e County party organization. Since 1930, the TIAN'e County Party organization has achieved remarkable results in using social relations to send people to infiltrate the Kuomintang government or plot against Kuomintang government personnel and collect enemy intelligence.

In October 1930, when the Red Seventh and Red Eighth Armies marched north through the border of Tian'e County, the underground party organization in Tian'e County cooperated with the Political Department of the Red Seventh and Red Eighth Armies to actively publicize the patriotic united front, calling on local upper-level figures to abandon the dark and surrender to the light and jointly resist domestic reactionaries and imperialism. In 1932, the Cpc Qianguibian Party Organization sent military commissar Wei Guoying, propaganda commissioner Ya Yuan, and communist Party member Wei Mingsan to the deck village to do xie haiqing (Xie Haiqing was a native of the deck village of Sanbao Township, Tian'e County, and had been an official to the battalion commander of the Guangxi warlord Lu Rongting's department, leading troops stationed in the area around the three fort decks) to try to prevent him from opposing the Red Army.

In 1932, after the establishment of the Qianguibian Revolutionary Committee of the CPC in Shitun, Tian'elin, Huang Juping, secretary of the Cpc Committee, brought more than 20 people, including Huang Boyao, Ya Yongping, and Huang Hongteng, to Guizhou Province to do the united front work of Chen Xiuqing, a local powerful faction, prompting Chen Xiuqing to dare to stand up against the successive county magistrates of the Kuomintang Luodian County Government. Chen Xiuqing became a progressive force that lived in harmony with our Party organization during the Second Civil Revolutionary War and was guided and influenced by our Party organization. From July 1934 to December 1935, the Kuomintang reactionary government was forced to send the Central Army to encircle and suppress him, thus dispersing the enemy's strength and reducing the military pressure of the Red Army's Long March through Guizhou.

From June 1932 to July 1936, Wei Guoying and Ya Yongping repeatedly persuaded Wang Haiping, commander of the Shuishui West Road Column in Guizhou Province, to fund the work of the border area. Under the mobilization of Wei Guoying and Ya Yongping, Wang Haiping also made Wei Guoying and Ya Yongping hold their posts in his department, raised funds and weapons to fund the activities of the CPC Qianguibian Revolutionary Committee, and armed the Kafa Company led by the Communist Party.

In October 1948, the renewal guerrillas sent Wu Tongde to persuade Wu Jingcong, director of the Joint Defense Office of the Tian'e County Government of the Republic of China, and Zhao Fajian, the leader of the detachment, to inspire them not to fight for the Kuomintang regime anymore, and to turn the muzzle of the gun to deal with the Kuomintang reactionaries unanimously. On October 5, the Leaders of the Qianbian Column, the 28th Brigade, and the Ele Corps, Zhao Shitong, Huang Baoshan, and Huang Pingxiong, together with Wu Jingcong and Zhao Fajian, held an alliance ceremony at The Renewal of Bayangtun to make an alliance with blood. The next day, Wu Jingcong and Zhao Fajian held a pig-killing banquet to invite guerrilla leaders Zhao Shitong, Huang Baoshan, Wang Fulin, and Huang Pingxiong, and expressed their rebellion. Wu Jingcong and Zhao Fajian also presented the guerrillas with 1 Russian-style light machine gun, 2 20-shot pistols, 5 79 rifles, and a batch of ammunition. Whenever the Tian'e County militia attacked to update the guerrillas, Wu Jingcong and Zhao Fajian provided information to the guerrillas, informing them of the offensive route so that the guerrillas could organize forces to counterattack in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the matter was reported by Kwong Shifang, and Wu Jingcong was killed by the commander of the Guixi Military and Political District in Huangjiang Village, Nandan County.

Huang Jingqi took tan Anfeng's words: "The governor of Tan County has a very detailed understanding of the enemy's troop deployment and has analyzed it very reasonably, thanks to the fact that our tian'e party organization has actively and effectively carried out united front work and counter-attack against the enemy for many years.

"At present, the enemy's troop deployment is as follows: Huang Jingfen, deputy commander of the Tian'e County Militia Regiment, commanded some of the militia reserves and the Chengzhi Township Brigade to hold the county town of Xiangyang; Zhang Jinxian, county magistrate; Tian Liankuan, police officer and commander of the Self-Defense Corps; Lü Mengguang, chief of the military section, led the county police, the lao peng township brigade of the militia regiment, and the security battalion sent by Mo Shujie, with a total of more than 300 people occupying the area of Laopeng, Changgangling, and Zhangjiatuo, forming two defensive lines inside and outside to protect Tian'e County. This deployment of the enemy's forces not only hindered the guerrillas' transition from north to south and prevented the People's Liberation Army from driving straight into Tian'e County.

In order to liberate Tian'e County, the Cpc Baise Prefectural Committee decided to organize some guerrilla units in Fengshan and Donglan Counties to cooperate with the Tian'e County Independent Brigade to capture Tian'e. I have come this time to implement the decision of the Baise Prefectural Committee of the CPC and to study with you the military action plan for the capture of Tian'e. ”

On the basis of the situation of the forces of the enemy and ourselves enumerated by Tan Anfeng and the decision of the CPC Baise Prefectural Committee, the comrades attending the meeting expressed their own views and seriously discussed the action plan for the capture of Tian'e County.

Finally, the meeting formulated the principles for capturing Tian'e and the deployment plan for troops: First, first, capture the defensive lines around Laopeng, Changgangling, and Zhangjiatuo, and then seize the county seat of Tian'e. Second, a general headquarters was established, with Tan Anfeng, secretary of the Tian'e County Working Committee and county magistrate of the Tian'e County Provisional People's Government, as the commander-in-chief. The general command headquarters consists of a front-line command post and a former pro-democratic movement regiment, with Huang Jiezhang, member of the Tian'e County Working Committee and instructor of the Tian'e County Independent Brigade, as the commander, and Huang Guangting, chief of staff of the Tian'e County Independent Brigade, as the deputy commander; the former pro-democracy movement regiment is headed by Wei Shaoxi and Wei Fengzhang as the deputy regimental commander. Third, the time for launching a general offensive against the enemy was set in the early morning of December 6.

The specific plan for the deployment of offensive troops was: Mo Bijian, commander of the Tian'e County Independent Brigade, led a detachment to guard the renewal, on the one hand guarding the rear of the independent brigade, and on the other hand as a reserve; the first squadron, the second squadron, and the fourth squadron of the Tian'e County Brigade mainly attacked the enemies of Changgangling and Zhangjiatuo; the Mojiasheng Division of the third squadron was stationed in the area of Pingla and Guihua, responsible for cutting off the support of the enemy Lao Peng in the county town; the remainder of the fourth squadron, led by Huang Jinghua, stayed behind at Taiping Mountain as a feint to attack the county town in order to hold the enemy of the county town; And The Ma Xiuming squadron of Donglan County. Yang Xiulin Squadron of Fengshan County was responsible for attacking Lao Peng's enemies Zhang Jinxian and Lü Mengguang.

"Comrades, today's meeting will be an epoch-making meeting in the history of the Tian'e Revolution." Huang Jingqi stood up, raised his right arm, and said passionately, "The dawn is just ahead, and Tian'e will see the light again!" ”

The comrades attending the meeting also stood up and lined up in unison, holding their heads high, raising their right fists in unison: "Obey the party's command, not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, and resolutely fight the battle of liberating Tian'e!" ”

After the meeting, the commanders of all walks of life immediately rushed back to their respective garrisons, conveyed the spirit of the Zetian military conference, and led the team to travel more than seventy miles overnight, and rushed to Naqiao Village at 5 a.m. on the 5th to assemble.

After the troops arrived at Naqiao Village, Wei Shaoxi, commander of the former pro-democracy movement regiment, and Deputy Regiment commander Wei Fengzhang immediately led the comrades of the former pro-democracy movement regiment to mobilize the masses to make preparations for the pre-support. When the masses of Naqiao Village heard that the Independence Brigade was going to capture Tian'e County and eliminate the Kuomintang regime that had brought calamity to the country and the people, they were all overjoyed. Therefore, every household hurriedly wrapped rice dumplings, steamed glutinous rice, and boiled eggs to comfort the comrades of the independent brigade of Lao County. A dozen or so young men in the village, each bringing their own bird hammers, joined the battle ranks of the independent brigade.

In 1932, an old man in his sixties who had joined the Twenty-first Division of the Red Army led by Wei Baqun took out 5 grenades that had been collected for more than ten years and handed them to the commander of the former democratic movement regiment Wei Shaoxi, who said to Wei Shaoxi, commander of the regiment: "Commander Wei, I am too old to participate in your battle against Tian'e County. This is the 5 grenades that I have collected for more than ten years, and I will give it to you, which is the contribution of an old Red Army soldier. ”

After full preparation, the troops quietly set out at about 21:00 on the evening of the 5th, under the cover of night. At 5:00 a.m. on the 6th, all the troops entered the pre-set offensive position. At 6 o'clock, the troops launched a comprehensive attack on the enemy.

The first and second squadrons of the Tian'e County Independent Brigade, which were responsible for attacking the enemy at Changgangling and Zhangjiatuo, organized a fierce attack on the enemy's fortifications. The defenders of Changgangling and Zhangjiatuo were frightened by this sudden attack, and slipped into the bunkers and fortifications to escape.

"Rush!" Wei Mingying, the leader of the second squadron, took the lead in standing up and waving the shell gun in his hand to direct the soldiers to launch a charge.

The warriors shouted "Rush! "Kill!" The slogan, like a fierce tiger swooping down, jumped up and launched a charge against the defending enemy.

"Da-da-da-da!" Suddenly, a dense machine gun sound came from a commanding height in Changgangling, and the bullets rained down on the soldier's side, and Wei Mingying's right ear was cut by a bullet.

"Lie down!" Wei Mingying shouted to the warriors.

The machine gun on the vantage point kept on firing, and the attacking troops were suppressed in a depression...

"You must unplug this machine gun and control the commanding heights!" Wei Mingying pulled down the hat on his head, clasped it tightly in his hand, and made up his mind.

Wei Mingying carefully observed the terrain of the commanding heights, and he found that there was a small ditch about ten meters ahead, along which he could reach the rear side of the bunker on the commanding heights.

"We swerved back to the rear of the enemy machine gun position and killed the machine gun with a grenade!" Wei Mingying said to the soldiers around him.

Therefore, Wei Mingying and 4 fighters quietly detoured back to the rear of the enemy bunker along the small ditch, and when Wei Mingying and them came to a place about a mile behind the bunker, Wei Mingying signaled the fighters to stop, and then hid in the bushes to carefully observe the situation of the bunker. Wei Mingying found that the bunker was made of stone and was semi-open.

"Blow it up with a grenade." Wei Mingying ordered the soldiers around him, "Listen to my password, throw it together!" ”

"Good!" The soldiers drew grenades from their grenade pouches.

"Listen to my password." Wei Mingying said, "Pull the strings! ”

"One-two-three, bomb-drop!"

"Boom—boom!" As the grenade exploded, the enemy's machine guns, along with the main and secondary machine gunners, were blown up and flew, and 5 enemy soldiers who were not injured were running around holding their heads in the smoke...

"Rush!" Wei Mingying led the 4 warriors around him to jump up and rush forward, and in a few moments he captured the 5 enemy soldiers and controlled this commanding height. Subsequently, the fighters of the first and second squadrons, who were suppressed in the depression, jumped out of the depression and quickly occupied the entire heights.

When Tian Liankuan, the commander of the militia regiment at the headquarters, learned of the news that the highlands had been occupied, he suddenly panicked, he knew that the highlands were the main positions that held the Changgang Ridge to rush, and the loss of the highlands meant that the Changgang Ridge would lose its barrier, and the entire Changgang Ridge would soon be lost. Tian Liankuan quickly calmed down, and his only hope was to retake the lost highlands. Therefore, Tian Liankuan commanded more than 50 regiments, took two machine guns, divided into three offensive echelons, and attacked the highlands from the left, center, and right directions in an attempt to retake the highlands. The soldiers of my first and second squadrons bravely and tenaciously held their positions, repelling the enemy's counterattack again and again. Tian Liankuan saw that three or four corpses were left behind in each attack, and in order to preserve his strength, he had to lead his soldiers back to the headquarters and several small hills to defend. The First and Second Squadrons quickly took control of most of the Changgang Ridge.

At this time, the battle in the direction of Lao Peng was in full swing. The Donglan County Ma Xiuming Squadron and the Fengshan County Yang Xiulin Squadron, which were responsible for attacking Laopeng Street, fought fiercely for almost two days and one night with the defending enemies Zhang Jinxian and Lü Mengguang, but the defending enemy was still stubbornly resisting...

"Captain Ma, I am Liu Zusheng, commander of the frontline command post Huang Jiezhang, and Commander Huang Jiezhang sent me to you to understand the situation." Commander Huang Jiezhang's correspondent Liu Zusheng wore a leaf hat on his head, and the cat came to the side of Ma Xiuming, who was directing the battle.

"Does Commander Huang want to understand the reason why we can't take Lao Peng Street for a long time?" Ma Xiuming put the shell gun into his waist and asked.

"Report to the horse squadron leader, yes!"

"I see. I don't have time to say why now, but you can go back and tell Commander Huang that we will definitely take LaoPeng Street before the sun sets today. ”

"Good!"

After the correspondent Liu Zusheng left, Ma Xiuming immediately consulted with Squadron Leader Yang Xiulin of the Fengshan County Squadron and decided to adjust the offensive strategy and carry out a "progressive" attack, that is, to divide the troops into two echelons to attack the artillery tower at the intersection of Laopeng Street, the first echelon was 30 people, and these 30 people took the method of throwing grenades at close range to blow up the turret and several bunkers around it, and then the 40 or so people of the second echelon quickly followed up, taking advantage of the gap in the smoke from the explosion of the first round of grenades, to throw the second wave of grenades, and then the first echelon. The soldiers of the second echelon and the follow-up troops launched an all-out attack, taking the artillery tower at the entrance of the street and breaking into Laopeng Street.

Yang Xiulin had no opinion on the plan proposed by Ma Xiuming. So Yang Xiulin and Ma Xiuming immediately organized an attack, and in only half an hour, they occupied Laopeng Street.

After Changgangling and Laopeng Street were occupied by the Independent Brigade, the remnants of the enemy retreated to several small hills nearby to resist. The Independent Brigade then moved its front-line headquarters to Bolituo on the liangpo of Lao Peng.

From the seventh to the thirteenth, the guerrillas fought with the county police commanded by Tian Liankuan, Lü Mengguang, and Yang Rongsheng, and the security brigade, reserve brigade, and township brigade of the Northwest Guizhou Military and Political District Headquarters, which formed a tug-of-war, and the war situation was in a confrontational state, but as far as the entire war situation was concerned, the Tian'e County Independent Brigade was always in the active position.

In order to solve the problem of the remnants of the enemy in Changgangling and Laopeng as soon as possible, Tan Anfeng, commander-in-chief of the General Headquarters, decided to launch a political offensive against the remnants of the enemy while not relaxing the military offensive against the enemy. After careful study by the General Headquarters, the general command adopted the principle of "walking on two legs" in launching the political offensive; on the one hand, it organized political work teams to shout in front of the enemy's positions, publicize the situation of the War of Liberation and the Communist Party's lenient policy toward those who surrendered, and urged the remnants of the enemy to lay down their weapons and abandon the dark and surrender to the light; on the other hand, Qin Shixin, who had a long friendship with Zhang Jinxian, the county magistrate of Tian'e County of the Kuomintang, wrote a letter to Zhang Jinxian to persuade him to surrender.

Qin Shixin, born in 1906, zhuang ethnicity, originally from Jiangxu Township, Wangang County (now Bama County) Jiankang Village. In 1926, he defected to the revolution and participated in the peasant movement training center opened by Yan Min and Yu Shaojie in the city of Enlong County (now Part of Tiandong County). After graduating in April 1927, he was transferred to the Xishan base area to work. In August 1929, Chen Hongtao, the leader of the Youjiang Committee of the Communist Party of China, went to Yuewei District to guide the work and introduced Qin Shixin to join the Communist Party of China. In March 1931, he changed his name to Tan Ping and Tang Gao and went to Nama, Guode, Xiangdu and other counties to engage in underground liaison work. In 1937, the party organization sent him to Wangang, Donglan, Fengshan and other counties to carry out underground activities. In 1939, according to the instructions of the Donglan Central County Party Committee, he changed his name to Tang Suzhong, and with the open occupation of engraving private seals, practicing medicine, and selling Chinese herbal medicine, he went to Xinxin Township in Tian'e County to carry out underground work, and since then he has taken root in Xinxin Street. In February 1940, he was recommended by Huang Cunzhong, the mayor of the Kuomintang Renewal Township, to work as a teacher at the National Renewal Center. From August 1940 to August 1941, he was transferred to Laopeng Township Central Primary School to teach. Because of huang Cunzhong's trust and recommendation, from August 1941 to 1947, he successively served as a clerk in the Xinxin Township Office, the director of the Field Endowment Collection Office, the deputy township chief, and the acting township chief. During his tenure as deputy township chief and acting township chief, he protected many underground Communist Party cadres such as Zhao Shitong and Huang Zhaomin. Qin Shixin had a good personal relationship with Zhang Jinxian during his time in Xinxin Township. In July 1947, his true identity was discovered by the enemy, and when the enemy was about to arrest him, fortunately, the villagers reported that he was able to escape from danger. In September 1949, Qin Shixin joined the Update Guerrillas.

Qin Shixin's letter to Zhang Jinxian was to the effect that the whole country had been liberated, the People's Republic of China had been established in October 1949, chiang kai-shek's regime had collapsed, and Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi had retreated to Taiwan. Most of Guangxi was already under the control of the revolutionary regime. Facts have proved that you have no hope, and that you will continue to fight for the Kuomintang and continue to confront the people's armed forces, but you are making senseless sacrifices. Entrusted by the Tian'e County Working Committee, the Tian'e County Provisional People's Government, and the Tian'e County People's Armed Forces, I also give you advice in the light of your and my reasons, and I hope that you will immediately order your subordinates to stop resisting, protect weapons and ammunition, and carry out organized surrender. We have given leniency to all of your surrender personnel and have not been blamed for the past.

After Zhang Jinxian received the letter of persuasion written to him by Qin Shixin, he was very conflicted in his heart, and he felt that under the situation that the General Trend of the Kuomintang had gone, it was absolutely impossible to save the defeat with only a few hundred guns.

Zhang Jinxian also remembered that last autumn, underground party leader Wei Guoying had written to him and Yao Guanghua, the township chief of Qiaotou Township, to publicize the situation of the national liberation war and persuade them to surrender.

In the autumn of 1949, Wei Guoying, former commander of the Sixty-third Regiment of the Seventh Red Army and leader of the Qiaotou Underground Party, wrote a letter to Zhang Jinxian, the county magistrate of Tian'e County, and Yao Guanghua, the township chief of Qiaotou Township, in accordance with the instructions of Huang Juping, secretary of the Donglan County CPC Committee, to persuade him to surrender. Zhang Jinxian wrote back to Wei Guoying saying that he was willing to surrender, but because Mo Shujie, commander of the Northwest Guizhou Military and Political Region, sent two security companies to supervise the county government, it was inconvenient to move, and it was necessary to wait for the opportunity. In November of the same year, Wei Guoying, Wei Gan, and Wei Wuneng secretly went to Lao Peng's Zhangjiamadong to meet with Zhang Jinxian and preach to him that the People's Liberation Army had crossed the river and entered the excellent situation in Guangxi, hoping that he would make a decisive decision and abandon the dark and turn to the light.

Zhang Jinxian knew that after more than a month, the guerrillas attacked Changgangling and Laopeng Street, which was just to exert military pressure on him and force him to submit. If he continues to drag out the matter of surrender, I am afraid that he will only be eliminated by the guerrillas. Moreover, Zhang Jinxian recently learned from the news from Nandan that Mo Shujie, commander of the Northwest Gui Military and Political Region Headquarters stationed in Luoteng Village, Nandan, had secretly sent people to Hechi to negotiate surrender with the People's Liberation Army. However, the authenticity of this news is unknown to Zhang Jinxian. Therefore, Zhang Jinxian decided to sit back and observe for a while before making a decision on the matter of surrender.

The next day, on January 10, 1950, Mo Shujie, commander of the Northwest Guizhou Military and Political District Headquarters, sent deputy commander Huang Hanting, chief of staff Zhou Jing, and others to Hechi to set off for peace talks with the PLA, and on the same day that they sent telegrams, telephone calls, and letters to Chen Youshan, commissioner of the Yishan Special Region, who was entrenched in Libo, Guizhou, Lin Tuxuan, governor of Tianhe County, and Zhang Jinxian, county magistrate of Tian'e County, to inform them of the decision of the Northwest Guizhou Military and Political District Headquarters to formally send people to Hechi to sign a peace reorganization agreement with the PLA. He also ordered them to lead their troops to Jinchengjiang or Yishan to receive the adaptation.

After Zhang Jinxian received a telegram from the Headquarters of the Northwest Gui Military and Political Region, he knew that the general trend had indeed gone, and he would not surrender any more, but could only take the crash plane and commit suicide.

"Alas—" Zhang Jinxian sighed as he held the telegram from the Northwest Gui Military and Political District Headquarters in his hand. Then he said to himself, "Finally liberated." Then a kind of relief flowed throughout the body.

Zhang Jinxian summoned Yang Rongsheng, the township chief of Laopeng Township, and asked him to serve as a plenipotentiary representative to take people to the guerrilla-controlled Wufu Village to negotiate with the guerrilla leaders Huang Jiezhang, Ya Meijin, Wei Mingying, Huang Guangting, and other leaders. In the course of the negotiations, the guerrillas put forward five main conditions: First, before the teams, personnel, weapons, equipment, and other military materials to which Zhang Jinxian and Tian Liankuan belonged, Zhang Jinxian and Tian Liankuan were responsible for making records and registering them, and they were not allowed to secretly store, transfer, or sell them, and they were to be collected in a centralized manner at the time and place specified by the guerrillas; second, they were transferred to the Tian'e County political power at the time and place prescribed by the guerrillas. The archives and public property of successive governments managed before the transfer shall not be spread, burned, or secretly stored; Article 3, the officials under the Tian'e County Government shall be concentrated in the county seat for later training and shall not abscond with a gun or engage in various sabotage activities, and those who violate the law shall be severely punished; Article 4, the above three articles shall be implemented by the county magistrate Zhang Jinxian and shall not violate the order; Article 5, the agreement shall take effect after being signed by both parties on January 12, 1950. After two days of negotiations, the five conditions put forward by the guerrillas were accepted by Yang Rongsheng and signed the agreement.

On 13 January, the two sides withdrew from their positions around Changgangling, Zhangjiatuo, and Laopeng. The Tian'e County Independent Brigade gathered in Na Hin Village for recuperation.

On January 14, 1950, Zhang Jinxian immediately read a telegram to his subordinates after receiving the official acceptance of the plausible reorganization of the People's Liberation Army by the Headquarters of the Northwest Guizhou Military and Political Region. After arranging to maintain public order in the county, he invited Huang Jingfen, deputy commander of the militia regiment, to arrive at the headquarters of the Huangdonghu Regiment of the 112th Division of the People's Liberation Army in Xiaochang, Nandan, on January 16. After listening to his explanations, the regimental headquarters decided to send more than 180 people from the Second and Sixth Companies led by Yang Fujiang, battalion commander Yang Fujiang and Instructor Gu Hanguo, to march into Tian'e.

At the same time, the Tian'e County Independent Brigade was still responsible for garrisoning the front lines of Pingla, Guihua, and Taipingshan to monitor the activities of the Kuomintang Tian'e County military and police. The Fourth Squadron of the Donglan County Brigade sent a squad (a cadre fighter from Tian'e Qiaotou) to Nandan County to meet the People's Liberation Army. On January 19, the troops led by Yang Fujiang's battalion commander arrived at the sixth platoon in Tian'e County. On the 20th, accompanied by the guerrillas, the troops did not bloodshed and entered Xiangyang, the county seat of Tian'e County. When the People's Liberation Army and guerrillas entered Tian'e County, they were greeted by the local masses and the former Kuomintang government officials in Tian'e County.

On January 20, the Tian'e County Working Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Provisional People's Government of Tian'e County held a military-civilian congress on Xiangyang Street to announce the peaceful liberation of Tian'e County. Then it was announced that the Tian'e County Takeover Committee would be established, with Tan Anfeng as the director and Lu Minghua as the deputy director.
